Bollywood diva Deepika Padukone’s Chhapaak has been receiving words of praise from celebrities, audiences and critics alike. Directed by Meghna Gulzar, 'Chhapaak' was released on January 10, 2020. The makers of the movie have been applauded for highlighting an important social issue.
The latest celeb to laud the actress is Parvathy Thiruvothu, who took to her social media page to share a heartfelt message. The actress appreciated the team for fortifying the undercurrent of awakening she had a year ago through her movie 'Uyare'. She also added that even today acid is available over the counter at ease.
"Chhapaak has fortified the undercurrent of awakening I had a year ago through Uyare. For the many Pallavis and Maltis of this world; the ones who survived and the ones who succumbed to the attacks- we owe it to them to keep speaking up. To bring their stories to the fore. Thank you @meghnagulzar @deepikapadukone and the whole cast and crew for holding us so close through Malti’s journey. Let’s stay reminded that acid is still sold over the counter in our country and we are losing hundreds of lives every year due to faulty implementation of regulations and stringent deterrent laws. Let’s stay reminded that one remains party to this by staying apolitical and choosing not to engage and not ask questions. Let’s stay reminded that more often than not its mere luck that lets us walk freely, myself included, and not because we have the certainty of security. Let’s listen better and get used to the unrest. We are all we have !", Parvathy wrote.
Parvathy’s latest Malayalam film 'Uyare' explored the survival of an acid attack victim, similar to that of Deepika's 'Chhapaak'. In the movie, she played the role of a passionate pilot whose career gets devastated after her lover throws acid on her face.
